Dongfeng KL truck parts Instrument face shield decorative panel assembly 5305979-C3100

Built to elevate the Dongfeng KL’s cab interior aesthetics while optimizing usability, this decorative panel features a refined, driver-centric design. The surface adopts a brushed aluminum texture with a matte finish, creating a premium visual contrast with the dashboard’s plastic components and resisting fingerprint accumulation. It is angled at 8° relative to the instrument cluster, aligning with the driver’s natural line of sight to avoid glare and minimize eye strain. The panel’s edge is beveled (R4mm) for a smooth touch, while its color (deep metallic gray) matches the KL’s standard interior trim, ensuring visual consistency. Precision-cut notches for the instrument hood and steering column ensure no obstruction to controls, balancing style and functionality for long-haul drivers

Engineered for long-term aesthetic and structural durability, the 5305979-C3100 panel is constructed from high-performance ABS+PC alloy with a specialized surface treatment. The 3mm-thick base material achieves a tensile strength of 52MPa and impact resistance of 15kJ/m², resisting cracks from accidental impacts (e.g., tool bumps). The brushed texture undergoes a scratch-resistant coating process (pencil hardness ≥2H), withstanding scuffs from cleaning cloths or frequent contact—maintaining its premium appearance for 300,000km of operation. The material is UV-stabilized, passing 2500-hour xenon lamp aging testing without fading, even in sun-exposed cabs. Unlike thin vinyl overlays, it does not peel or warp, ensuring long-lasting performance in extreme temperatures (-40℃ to 85℃)

Optimized to safeguard the instrument cluster’s sensitive components while maintaining aesthetics, the decorative panel integrates practical protective features. A foam rubber gasket (EPDM material) lines the panel’s inner perimeter, forming a dust-tight seal with the instrument face shield—preventing dust, diesel fumes, and small debris from entering the instrument housing and causing display malfunctions. The panel’s raised edge (5mm height) acts as a barrier against liquid spills (e.g., coffee, cleaning fluid) that could seep into the instrument cluster (repair costs up to $1,500). The precision fit eliminates gaps between the panel and shield, blocking wind drafts from the cab’s air conditioning that cause display fogging, ensuring clear visibility in all weather conditions

This decorative panel assembly is designed for hassle-free installation and long-term cost savings for Dongfeng KL operators. The pre-assembled snap-fit clips (made of glass fiber-reinforced nylon) allow a single technician to complete replacement in 20 minutes—no tools required, as the clips securely lock into the dashboard’s prefabricated slots. The OE-compatible design ensures perfect alignment with adjacent trim pieces, avoiding the mismatched gaps common with aftermarket panels that compromise cab aesthetics. The durable material reduces replacement frequency, with a service life three times that of non-OE alternatives. By protecting the instrument cluster and enhancing interior appeal, it improves driver satisfaction and retention—critical for long-haul fleets. Backed by a 1-year/150,000km Dongfeng warranty, it provides reliable aesthetic and protective value with predictable maintenance expenses
